Alright, fair enough technically.

Here’s something else. Total assumption on my part, just to get a feel for the reaction: If they were to decide that they would openly discourage/stop any gay persons from entering Muslim community centers, and/or attend events for muslims because their following does not want them there. Would people still shrug their shoulders and say “Meh! They’re the selected representatives who makes decisions inside mosques, churches, etc.”? God’s house=God’s rules=Holy scriptures take precedence?

Totally theoretical. I just dislike the fact that we’re so accustomed to bending views in our favor, even if our hearts testify that that our views are often hypocritical and selective. General observation; I’m guilty of it as well.

You’re being very passive aggressive lol. Except for “because religion says so” give me one logical reason how a gay person harms you or your family. Keep in mind that no couple, homosexual or heterosexual should be publicly affectionate, so if someone behaves a certain way in the privacy of their home, and if marriage (which is just a moniker, would it be better if we called it a civil union?) gives them equal **civil **benefits, what’s the issue? There have been plenty of threads on this: homosexual unions predate Abrahamic religions so your opposition to them (non religious civil unions) is irrational.

Gays are the ones being excluded because…well just because. They haven’t stolen from, hurt, or harmed any religious person in any way, shape, or form, yet they are not wanted there. I believe that’s discrimination. It’s like old racists who say they have no problem with blacks, they just don’t want them in white neighbourhoods. If gay marriage is against God’s rules then let God judge them. An Imam/Rabbi/Priest has no business being in someone’s private life.

I have a question for you: should mosques ban anyone who drinks? What if a thief was only sent to jail but wasn’t prescribed a punishment outlined in Sharia, has their crime been properly atoned for? If not, should the mosque exclude them too?
